[Sca-cooks] baked cheese dishes

[Olwen the Odd]

Well, I won't kill you but yeah, I'd have liked to see the picture.  I'll
live.  So, your gonna take a picture of the next attempt right?  It really
sounds and looks great.  When you nail this down I believe it will be coming
out of my oven!

Oh, your event theme is cool.

>I am calling it a pie (as in oven cheese pie). Olwen is gonna kill me but I

>gigantic. I squinched & crimped & painted with butter but could not keep it
>from opening up (my first try ended up with a puddle o'cheese all over the

>crescent roll dough to see if it will hold it's shape better.

>I hadn't mentioned this before, but the feast I am planning is called The

>My concern, more than the cost, it that is fairly labor intensive. And if
